The Central Michigan University president says he is “deeply disappointed” about an anti-Semitic Valentine’s Day card that was produced during a campus Republican group meeting, then apparently given to a pair of students by a member of that group, which insists it was an unsanctioned mistake.

The card was in a bag that was handed to the students Wednesday night by a member of the College Republicans at the Mount Pleasant, Mich., university, which immediately apologized while distancing itself from the incident. The card, which the group called “very inappropriate,” shows Adolf Hitler alongside the words “my love 4 u burns like 6,000 jews,” according to Central Michigan Life, a student newspaper.

University President George Ross said campus leaders met Thursday morning “to review the situation and determine next steps.”

“Such hurtful, offensive language, while protected by the First Amendment, is unacceptable and is not consistent with our values and standards,” he said in a statement.
